[OM] Automatic exposure problems

Help!
My OM2n seems to be overexposing.  It started out that it was just 
on shots I took outdoors, and it was controllable by dialing in one 
stop or so of underexposure.  But the last two rolls (slides) that 
came back vary from a bit overexposed to totally washed out, even 
the flash pictures.  It's not just the flash overpowering a 
foreground subject, the whole frame is overexposed.  The strange 
thing is that two or three of the shots on each roll look ok.  Plus, 
I took a short roll of print film, and it seemed to come out ok.  I 
guess they managed to resurrect it while printing.  I guess my main 
question is whether this could be a problem with the camera, or 
whether it's a problem with that big lump behind it.  Does the 2n 
suffer from oily magnets?

I had to quit the rodeo circuit because I got bronc-itis.
